Steering Vehicle recall #15V878000 · 2015 · 60,140 vehicles
What's wrong: During assembly, the power steering hose retention clamp May have been installed at an incorrect location, resulting in the detachment of the low pressure return hose.
Why it matters: If the power steering fluid return hose detaches, it would leak fluid and increase the risk of a fire.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the return power steering hose clamp, repositioning the clamp as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on February 5, 2016.
